My WD NAS drive not accepting DHCP address from router.   WD Discovery software cannot detect WD NAS on my network.     Reset did not correct issue.

I can assign a static I.P. address via the NAS Web interface successfully, but still the WD Discovery software does not detect the WD NAS unit.    Even with direct crossover Ethernet cable to the WD drive still no detection with Static I.P…

What to do ?

Hi, did you tried resetting the router? If the problem continues you can also try connecting the my book directly to the computer Ethernet port.

Thankyou.

Yes I did reset the router, and yes I did connect My Book to the computer Ethernet port as stated in my post.

The Discovery software is not recognising the MYBook on the network or directly via the computer ethernet port.
